Eagle ID — According to early trend predictions, 2012 is “The Year of the Potato.”* At the Idaho Potato Commission, we couldn’t agree more. For seventy-five years, the state of Idaho has led the nation in supplying exceptional potatoes and potato varieties, from Russets to Gold and Red Potatoes to Fingerlings. And, when comes to seasonal promotions–Valentine’s Day being among the busiest and most profitable–Idaho potatoes in menu descriptions attract attention and orders.
For your 2012 Valentine’s Day promotion, may we suggest Idaho Fingerlings? Colorful, versatile and flavorful, use Idaho Fingerlings in signature dishes to surprise (Idaho Potato Shooters), satisfy (Idaho Fingerling Potato Pizza), and dazzle (Confit of Idaho Fingerling Potato Tart) your customers.
Find a description of Idaho Fingerlings and other Idaho potato varieties in the Idaho Potato Commission Shippers & Processors Directory. To browse our foodservice recipe database, or to download the comprehensive Idaho Potato Commission Foodservice Toolkit, visit www.foodservice.idahopotato.com.

The Idaho Potato Commission is a state agency that is primarily responsible for expanding the markets for Idaho-grown potatoes through advertising, promotion and research. The Commission also protects the use of the “Idaho® potato” and “Grown in Idaho®” seals, which are federally registered Certification Marks that belong to the IPC. These Marks ensure that consumers are purchasing potatoes that have been grown in the state of Idaho. For more information, visit www.idahopotato.com.
